Campaign for Nebraska Architectural Engineering and Construction Fund

Nebraska is home to some of the most recognized and respected names in the engineering, design and construction industry. The university is well-positioned to have the most recognized and respected academic program to match.

The university has created the Durham School of Architectural Engineering and Construction, the only place in the country that puts all elements of a comprehensive building education in one academic school. That collaborative nature, along with a "living laboratory" offering real world experience in mechanical, information management, and lighting and electrical systems, is attracting the brightest and most creative minds to Nebraska.

And the results are impressive. Demand for Durham School graduates is very high, because building, design and construction industries are among the largest in the nation while only a minority of universities offer education in these fields.

Your gift to this fund furthers the excellent work already done at the Durham School of Architectural Engineering and Constructions.
